Luka Doncic received the green light from the Dallas Mavericks to play Tuesday after testing on his injured left thumb.

Doncic participated in portions of Monday's practice with a wrap on his thumb and was diagnosed with a sprain. He had X-rays at halftime of Dallas' win Saturday over the LA Clippers.

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Monday the MRI showed a "low grade" sprain.

Doncic said he was hurt in the first quarter stealing the ball from James Harden, when his thumb struck Harden's knee.
